Benefits of Waterjet Cutting

As we mentioned previously, waterjet cutting can be used on essentially every material. Above is a long list of many of the materials that can be cut by our waterjets. Of course, waterjet cutting isn't the only way you can cut these materials, but it offers many advantages compared to other processes. The benefits of which include:

• Precision: Waterjetting uses a thin stream of water to precisely cut. It leaves crisp edges and since the waterjet is computer-guided, all cuts are made extremely accurately.

• No Heat-Affected Zones: Heat-affected zones can affect the quality of the material and the cut. Since the cutting process is done using water, there are no heat-affected zones.

• Efficient: Waterjetting allows you to cut multiple layers at once. This makes it a much more efficient process compared to other cutting methods.

• Edge Quality: Since only a thin bead of water is used, there is no metal grinding against one another. This results in superior edge quality.

• No Thickness Limits: It can be used to cut virtually endless levels of thickness. In mining applications, it has been used to cut as much as 100 feet of thickness. So, there is no level of thickness we cannot handle.
